Eat Coconut Oil For Healthy Cholesterol

Studies have shown that although eating coconut oil increases your HDL
(good cholesterol), it helps improve your whole cholesterol ratio. It’s the
best oil you can have to protect yourself from heart disease. It’s even
better than “heart healthy” oils such as canola, safflower, or soybean.

It’s important to pay more attention to your cholesterol ratio versus your
cholesterol values. It is a fact that the ratio is a far more accurate way
of indicating heart disease than that of the total cholesterol. The total
cholesterol can be misleading and really is a poor indicator when putting
these numbers together.

This is so because the total cholesterol doesn’t tell you how much of it is
the good cholesterol (HDL) and how much of it is the bad cholesterol (LDL).
A person can have a high total cholesterol, but if a large percentage of
this is the HDL, then the risk for heart disease is low.

In any case, your cholesterol ratio should be lowered along with your risk
of heart disease when coconut oil is added to your daily diet. In reading
an article, ”How to lower high cholesterol naturally without prescription
drugs”, I learned what Mike Adams does to maintain his healthy cholesterol
ratio naturally.

“How to lower high cholesterol naturally without prescription drugs”
written by Mike Adams, Editor of NaturalNews.com wrote what he does to
maintain his healthy cholesterol ratio:

Regular physical exercise

The key is to do something physical every day and stick with it. We were
meant to move and in order to stay healthy, we must get moving each and
every day.

Eliminate processed foods

Red meat is a big no no because it raises the bad cholesterol (LDL). It’s
also important to not eat any type of oil that has been hydrogenated, these
are not good for you.

Eat foods with all natural ingredients

I typically buy all my food organic. A lot of the supermarket chains are
adding more organic variety to their selections including cereals, pastas,
milk, cookies, candy bars, and chicken. Also avoid chemical ingredients
such as MSG, sodium nitrite, aspartame and other chemical sweeteners.

No soft drinks, soda, or fruit juices

This may be difficult for some but the best thing for the body is water.
